Funnels: What They Are, Where They Came From, and Why Most Are Built Backward

A funnel is not a website. It’s not a single email. It’s not an overpriced software platform someone tried to sell you in a webinar. It’s the journey someone takes from “Who are you?” → “This is interesting...” → “I need this in my life” → “Take my money.”

The Best Way to Streamline Your Client Projects as a Service Provider

Managing your client experience is one thing, but managing and streamlining your client projects is a whole other beast to tackle as a service provider. You might be wondering what the difference is, so when we talk about managing your client experience, we mean all of the communication, appointment scheduling, sending forms, proposals, contracts, getting paid, and all that jazz. (Dubsado’s our trusted CRM for that– here’s why.)

On the other hand, you also have to deal with the actual tasks that come with fulfilling a client project for both you and your team. For this, we recommend using a project management system like Asana. It’s robust enough to handle even the most complex projects, yet simple enough that if you don’t need to use all of the fancy-shmancy extras, you don’t have to.

Today we’ll be diving into the best way to streamline your client projects using Asana!

How to Improve Your Client Experience as a Coach Using Dubsado

As a coach, spending the most time perfecting your client experience is what’s going to take you such a long way. You could even say it’s the basis for what will allow you to scale to and past 6-figures and more. Creating a VIP experience allows you to raise your rates, charging prices that you didn’t even think were possible before.

Clients pay for the experience more than they do the actual results. Any other coach in your niche can provide the same results, but your quality of service and the experience is what will make you stand out from the rest.

Our roots are tied in services, and even though that’s ebbed and flowed over the years, we’ve always upheld the same value in experience, and Dubsado has been our go-to CRM to allow us to systematize that. We now teach it to our clients, and we’re so excited to share it with you, too!

How to Develop a Luxury Client Experience

We’ve talked a lot about there being a shift in the market lately. Getting people in the pipeline feels more difficult than before, making sales is taking a little longer, and marketing feels harder to understand. So, what can we do about this market shift? How can we set ourselves up for success?

We have two words for you, “client experience.” The best part? Your client experience is something you have control over and when done correctly, it can have a huge impact on your business moving forward. In this blog, we talk about the importance of your client experience and how to ultimately develop that will set you up for success, especially in this market.

How Service Providers Can Identify Their Result and Deliver a Profitable Offer

Looking back there is something magical about the beginning stages of business. It’s like we all had this young naive way of thinking at the beginning. You’re learning all the things, you’re hustling, you’re saying yes a lot (probably more than you should have) but you’re doing it. You’re building something that is yours.

And then you get to a point where you’re hitting 10K months consistently. You did the thing! You’ve become an established business owner BUT you’re still holding onto that “beginner” energy. Yeah, you might be making more money but you’re still feeling stressed, overwhelmed, and stretched thin.

Complete Guide to Dubsado’s New Form Builder 2022

As two self-dubbed Dubsado connoisseurs, we were over the moon when we first learned about the updates to Dubsado’s form builder. While it wasn’t terrible to use before, this upgrade that just rolled out for all accounts in July has increased our love for the platform times a thousand. Even though all of the blocks and options are basically the same, the form builder now has a whole new look that the majority of users will find more intuitive and easy to use.

We were part of the lucky group who were able to use the beta version of the new form builder for months, so we’ve already gotten used to the upgrade and have been sticking to it exclusively. Because of that, we knew we had to put out this unofficial guide to Dubsado’s new form builder!

How to Develop an Experimental Mindset and Curiosity Culture in Your Small Business

We have seen too many business owners allow themselves to get stuck in a planning and research phase (because planning is fun!) that the big dreamy goals they have for their business never really come to fruition. The #1 thing that’s helped our business reach 7-figures, employ us and our amazing team, allow us to take time away and live Life-First, grow (when we want to) and sustain is the fact that we’ve created an Experimental mindset for ourselves and a culture of curiosity for our team.

In today’s blog we go over how to develop an experimental mindset not just for you and your business but how to also implement it within your growing business.

How to Fire a Client (Without Ruining Your Reputation)

As dreamy as it would be to only ever work with clients we love, we know that isn’t always the case. There are even the few that put on a good front and seem like they’ll be a really great fit, but something goes astray during the relationship. It could be an issue as simple as miscommunication, lost expectations, scope creep, etc.

No matter the root issue, it’s hard! It may even be so hard that you’ve come to a point where you’re ready to fire a client and finally part ways for good. Before you let anxiety get the best of you, keep reading as we dive into how to determine if you actually need to say goodbye, some other ways to get back on track, and– if it comes down to it– how to fire a client without ruining your reputation.

How to Set up Business Systems That Work for You

Not many people would say systems get them excited but at Boss Project we feel passionately that systems are THE THING that gets us excited. (yeah, you heard us right!) Systems are what give you more time and freedom, they give you the opportunity to step away, they run your business smoothly, and they provide your clients with an excellent experience.

We’ve heard many business owners say that systems and automations are overwhelming to tackle because it’s one more thing to think about. If that’s the case for you then you really NEED systems. With some up front work, you’ll actually have less things to think about and more time to do other things.
